I recently grabbed two pairs of cable leggings from Target. I absolutely love them, and I couldn't stop talking about how they were leggings! That were sweaters! Sweater leggings! Almost as good as pants!

For the record, I'm not a huge leggings girl, but these really just take over with outfits that I should be wearing heavy tights with. I have lots of sweater dresses, as well as knit dresses that I like to do the tights with, and I'm hoping these will give me just a bit more warmth on those cold days.

Of course, I've also paired it with some of my beauty choices, because you just can't leave that out. My makeup is just as much a part of my outfit as my accessories, so I tend to give it just as much thought. With a gray knit dress and bright accessories, I thought varying shades of plum would work the best.

While I would wear the black flats, I wouldn't hesitate to pair this with boots, either. I'd probably stay away from slouchy boots as well as booties, and go with traditional heeled boots in either black or gray.
